Rudra thought about everything , and at the end he chose the tear of life , as stats were absolute , his biggest advantage currently was his stats that were wayy beyond anyone else at this stage in the game.
His stats were already comparable to level 60 normal players at level 46 , but gaining another +50 in all stats , would mean that with his golden ratio bonus , he would have +75 all stats , it was a huge boost in strength.
Although meeting the pope was an extremely interesting prospect for him , the rewards were not certain , and he felt his current self too lacking to meet such an existence . Had he been tier 3 or 4 he would have jumped on the chance to meet the pope , but considering his current self , he decided against it.
